Inspiring Travel Writing from Kayt Sukel
Kayt Sukel is already planning her next trip. An American freelance writer based in Germany, she has climbed to Petra’s Al-Deir on a disobliging donkey, accidentally got mixed up in a Franciscan pilgrimage in Jerusalem, explored Malta’s prehistoric temples and repeatedly indulged her street food addiction in Istanbul, all with her young son in tow.
Her work has appeared in such publications as Wine Enthusiast, USAToday, the Washington Post, National Geographic Traveler, Continental and Delta Sky magazines. She is also a contributing editor at Travel Savvy Mom (http://www.travelsavvymom.com) and blogs about off-the-beaten-path restaurants at UpTake.com (http://restaurants.uptake.com/blog).
